For many grieving mothers, finding a spiritual connection to their child can be a great source of comfort. The belief that the bond with a loved one endures beyond death offers peace and healing. This blog explores the concept of maintaining a spiritual connection after loss, offering insights and reflections for mothers looking to feel close to their children who have passed on.
Why Spiritual Connection Matters After Loss
When we lose a child, we yearn for some sense of continued presence—to know that their child’s spirit remains with us.
Whether you’re just starting to explore spiritual connection or have long felt a bond that goes beyond the physical, know that your child is not gone, but still very much with you. Learning about the ways in which loved ones communicate from the spirit world can affirm this connection and provide the comfort of knowing that, while the relationship may have changed, it hasn’t ended.
In my recent interview with psychic medium Rachel Pearson, we talk about what happens when we die, where our spirit goes, and how we can stay connected to our loved ones in spirit.
Recognizing Signs from a Loved One’s Spirit
One of the most common experiences mothers report after losing a child is sensing their presence through signs or symbols. These can present in many different ways: a particular song playing at the right moment, a butterfly landing on your hand, or a specific scent that suddenly fills the room. As Rachel shared on The Angel Moms Podcast, the key is learning to recognize these signs as a form of communication from your child’s spirit.
These signs don’t always happen when we expect them, and they may appear subtly at first. Rachel encourages grieving mothers to stay open to these small, yet powerful moments and suggests keeping a journal of experiences, no matter how small they seem. Over time, a pattern may emerge, reminding us that love endures even beyond physical presence.
Creating Space for Spiritual Connection
In our busy lives, finding moments to connect with a loved one’s spirit requires intentionality. Creating a sacred space at home—a place where you feel calm and open—can be a powerful way to invite connection. For some, this space might involve lighting a candle, displaying a cherished photo, or simply sitting in quiet reflection. This doesn’t have to be elaborate or ritualistic; it’s about setting an intention to welcome your child's presence and love.
Rachel emphasizes the importance of grounding ourselves during these moments. Simply being still and holding a memory or a positive thought of your child can invite feelings of closeness. Spiritual connection often comes through silence, so allowing a few quiet moments each day can open new doors to connection.
Moving Beyond Doubt and Embracing Trust
One of the challenges for many bereaved moms is trusting that the connection they feel with their child’s spirit is real. Doubts are natural, especially in moments when the signs seem scarce or subtle. But Rachel reminds us that love itself is the bridge; it doesn’t require proof or validation. Trusting in that love—even if you can’t always “feel” it—allows space for moments of connection to appear organically.
You may find it helpful to look to others who have experienced similar connections or seek out supportive communities that validate these shared experiences. Hearing others’ stories of spiritual connection reminds us that love extends far beyond physical separation.
Embracing the Journey of Spiritual Connection after Child Loss
Connecting with your child’s spirit after loss is about creating new bonds and allowing a new form of closeness to emerge. While grief will never fully disappear, maintaining a spiritual connection can help transform it.
Remember, your child is always with you.
